Poetry@OccupyWallStreet: The Poetry, The Song Lyrics, and the Raw Creativity of the Anti-corporate Movement
Since Sept. 17,2011, large groups of demonstrators have been protesting against what they perceive to be the overt shameless corporate American greed. They are fed up by the rapaciousness of Wall Street, inattention and ungratefulness of the large banks that received large sums of money under the TARP that bailed them out of economic, financial crises during the early days of the recession only to turn back and hit the same tax payers with bank fees and sorts of money schemes. What is worse is that the bank presidents and higher officials are rewarded for their work with large bonuses ranging in the millions of dollars.
What is Occupy Wall Street all about?
“#OCCUPYWALLSTREET is a people powered movement for democracy that began in America on September 17 with an encampment in the financial district of New York City
Inspired by the Egyptian Tahrir Square uprising and the Spanish acampadas, we vow to end the monied corruption of our democracy.”
Having spent more than 23 days on the pavement of Wall Street, the protesters are organizing themselves to finally deliver a message to the financial world.
Protesters appear to come from all economic groups, religious, ethnic backgrounds. They are organizing themselves in general assemblies. Unable to use a microphone or bullhorns, they form what is called "waves of human microphone" which repeats what the speaker says to the rest of the assembled crowd.
Thus far, the movement has a website, www.occupywallstreet.org. It is seeking donations from volunteers. The donations can be in foods to feed the people who have been sleeping on the streets. Early scuffles with the police have not deterred them. Neither have the changing environmental elements. Just like the protesters of Tahrir Square and the Spanish acampadas, they are willing to brave the elements and police to effect change in the financial life of this country. In other words, they want to stop the monied corruption to repeat their own words.

=================
Here is a sample of this poetry book:
This poem was written by the author of "...Soaring on Wings Like Eagles..," "Freedom Rides to sweet Magnolia..,"
A Dream Deferred
Debt is slavery!
Its yoke the 99% is ready to break once for all
People not Profits! Down with Corporate Greed!
Remember the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP)!
Listen to the voice of the people on the streets
Why have you refused to help us
It is your turn to step up to the plate
Bankers, pay back your debt to the tax payers
And to the millions of families who do not want to be foreclosed on
Homelessness is inhumane
Joblessness can lead to all kinds of vices and temptations
Let us reclaim our voice and ‘hood from Wall Street to Detroit,
From the favelas of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo to India
These hill-side shantytowns are no better than the ghettos
Of Detroit, Cleveland, and Chicago
The wilderness is reclaiming the land; inhabitants are fleeing the physical degradation
They are making their last stand against economic injustice
The 99% has had enough. Main Street is asking Wall Street to repay its debts
Who is out there to listen to their cry of agony and humiliation?
We are getting on the economic freedom rides
Help us get free from debt, foreclosure. Give hope to our young and educated children
Help us! Help! Help! We are drowning in the filth on the streets!
Won’t you come down from your highrise to witness the misery we are vegetating in?
We are cold and hungry. Do not let the human voice¸ the human microphone disappear

Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi Agrees with Wall Street Protests
Congresswoman Pelosi said that she agrees with the Wall Street protesters who are chanting, "We are the 99%" because the financial and political establishments are not looking out for them. People feel disenfranchised. They want to work, but they can not find employment. The participants are largely people who are left behind in their debt by the 1% of Wall Street.
'I support the message to the establishment, whether it's Wall Street or the political establishment and the rest, that change has to happen,' Pelosi said on ABC's 'This Week'.

"Revolution 2.0: Mission Accomplished" Tweeted Google's Wael Ghonim who Thanked Brave Young Egyptian Heroes in Social Network Revolution
The face of the social network revolution, Wael Ghonim, has just tweeted @Ghonim "Mission Accomplished" amidst tears of joy. He was ready to rid his country of the Mubarak dictatorship.
"Mubarak was brought down by a "social network revolution" as the April 6th Youth Movement used Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube to start protests against the regime, which grew to attract massive popular support.
"Mission accomplished. Thanks to all the brave young Egyptians," tweeted Ghonim, the hero of the Egyptian "social network revolution."
@Ghonim Great title for Mr Ghonim's new book, Revolution 2.0: Mission Accomplished

@Ghonim Great title for Mr Ghonim's new book, Revolution 2.0: Mission Accomplished
Two Heroes: Wael Ghonim, Google Executive and Tunisian Fruit Vendor, Khaled Said Energized New Revolutions in Two Different Countries
Fed up with injustice, brutal regime's atrocities and lack of human rights in his native country, a young Tunisian fruit vendor set himself on fire. His sacrifice became a monumental factor for change in Tunisia. It was just a matter of days for the government of Tunisia led by the dictator to fall.
May the fruit vendor's soul rest in peace! Little did he know that his great sacrifice would reach beyond the borders of his country. In less than a few weeks, the Egyptian people rose up against Hosni Mubarack who was ruling for more than 30 years.
Wael Ghonim, sent to prison and released only to refocus, reorganize the Tahir Square protests, is seen by many as the face of the Egyptian revolution.
He is the first one to tell you that the positive and contributing actions of Google, facebook, twitter and Aljazeera network have helped the young people to topple Hosni M's government.
Wael Ghonim recognizes that his role has ended. He wants to go back to work. He wants to work a book on the movement.

Witness to a Brand New Revolution: Long Live the People of Egypt - Hosni Mubarak's 30-year Government Has Toppled
Proud witness to the newest revolution and with tears in my eyes!
After three weeks of massive protests, the people of Egypt got what they've always wanted. They have been protesting against an autocratic government, against the bad working conditions of the working class and lack of opportunities. Despite all the defiance shown by Hosni Mubarak, he was finally forced to step down.
Celebrations are everywhere now! From Tahir Square to Wall Street, Cairo to Washington and anywhere Egyptians are living. More importantly, twitter users, Internet and blogophiles are all rejoicing over the power of the people of Egypt.
These new events follow the deposition of the Tunisian dictator in Tunisia. Now it is Egypt's turn to boot a strongman, a dictator in the person of Hosni Mubarack. These new developments come as a surprise for the few remaining dictators around the world. Ultimately, the power comes back to the people!
Today, the young people of Egypt, the children of Egypt, Old as well as young people, have reclaimed their voice. They obtain their victory and do not forget those who became martyrs for this revolution.
The Google executive who was imprisoned became a voice in this country. He came back upon his release to reignite the flames of freedom. He turned out to be a good organizer of the Tahir crowd.

Wael Ghonim, Google Executive on leave, plans to write a book about revolution 2.0. He realized that his mission has accomplished. His contribution was to only participate in the revolution. He wants to go back to his company to work. He stated that he accomplished his role. Wael Ghonim does not want all the attention to be on him. He is thinking about the martyrs and future of his country.

Wall Street Enjoys Love Triangle Game Inspired by Fans of the Twilight Saga Series - Eclipse, found at LittleBitsofLoveArt.blogspot.com
Fans of the Twilight Saga series are involved in a very serious game which they hope will be spread all over the nation and the world. Inspired by the series and their love of art that can help heal and inspire others, fans are looking for Bella and Jacob's love art notes in places that nobody would think about. Once a lucky finder is able to find one, he/she reports their findings to Little Bits of Love Art by sharing the impact of this love note finding on their own lives and on their friends. In turn, they may go ahead and strategically place it somewhere else so the journey of searching, finding, discovering and healing can have its own life story.
Needless to say that as a fan of the love triangle between Bella, Edward and Jacob, I was so happy to be the discoverer of a love note seen here
The message was clear to me and my friends. I read it and looked at the back of the card where I found the address of this blog, http://littlebitsofloveart.blogspot.com
From the Quileute Nation to San Francisco and Washington state, you too can be part of this inspiring art game devised by a group of artists whose desire is reach out and touch a soul.
Anybody can participate. If you are a fan of the Twilight Saga series, if you are as beautiful as Bella or as handsome as Edward or as muscled as Jacob, you can be part of the Little Bits of Love Art

Shining the Spotlight on Wall Street's Shadowy Deals: The President's Weekly Radio and Internet Speech
President Obama said it is his responsibility to make sure that the economy rebounds from this recession
"Put simply, Wall Street reform will bring greater security to folks on Main Street," the president said.
"My responsibility as president isn't just to help our economy rebound from this recession; it's to make sure an economic crisis like the one that helped trigger this recession never happens again," he said. "That's what Wall Street reform will help us do."
"You'll be empowered with the clear and concise information you need to make the choices that are best for you. Well help stop predatory practices, and curb unscrupulous lenders, helping secure your familys financial future," Obama said.
"With reform, well make our financial system more transparent by bringing the kinds of complex, back-room deals that helped trigger this crisis into the light of day. Well prevent banks from taking on so much risk that they could collapse and threaten our whole economy."
"Put simply, Wall Street reform will bring greater security to folks on Main Street," the president said.

The Hidden Side of Wall Street: SEC Case Against Goldman Sheds Light into Darkness, Greed and Conflict of Interest Among Good Ole Boys' Business
One thing is clear: what happens on Wall Street does not always stay on Wall Street. It has an impact on households all over this country and the rest of the world.
Who did not know about what was common knowledge among the workers of Wall Street? Maybe those who are from Main Street America. How else would you explain such large bonuses paid to the employees if money was being made the regular way? Guys like Paulson devise new ways, new math or logorithm to take advantage of a weakness in the market, package it and sell it to banks in the US and overseas. Then, $billions are expected to be raked in and shared among the top players. The Hamptons and parts of Connecticut will not soon know the misery that Main Street America has known for many years. There is enough dough hidden in thick layers of paper and in bank accounts? The billions are not dissipating soon.
Here is what has been going on:
"f so, this is going to be the biggest scandal to hit Wall Street since the dot-com meltdown, and the SEC's actions will be seen as the sharpest attack on a major firm since then-New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer sued Merrill Lynch back in 2002.
But even after the worst financial crisis since the 1930s, the Wall Street banks have won victory after victory in their lobbying efforts and have paid their undeserving minions rich bonuses, which have really stuck in the public's craw..."
According to this MarketWatch article, here is how things have been going down there:
""We expect to leverage ACA's credibility and franchise to help distribute this Transaction," an internal Goldman e-mail said.
Paulson, the SEC claims, handpicked a bunch of the mortgage securities that ultimately went into that CDO, called Abacus 2007-AC1. They were chock full of adjustable-rate mortgages to borrowers with low FICO scores in Arizona, California, Florida, and Nevada, the complaint says.
Unfortunately, Goldman didn't disclose Paulson's role to IKB, the German bank to which it sold $150 million worth of the $1 billion CDO, nor did it mention it in its marketing materials to other institutions, the complaint says...."
Now you can have an idea of what people on Main Street America have been dealing with. Their losses are gains for a few on Wall Street. They are out of their home while these guys or Paulson are enjoying millions, their ill-gotten money. Pure Greed! One guy who is playing the game and expected to win big. And he did with the complicity of banks such as Goldman and others.
